The 21cm line emission from a 7×6 degree region, east of and adjoining the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has been observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes telescopes. This region represents the westernmost part of the Magellanic Bridge, a gas-rich tail extending ∼14 degrees to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). A rich and complex neutral hydrogen (Hi) structure containin...

A mathematical scheme is proposed here to model a damaged mechanical configuration for laminated and sandwich structures. In particular, two kinds of functions defined in the reference domain of plates and shells are introduced to weaken their mechanical properties in terms of engineering constants: a two-dimensional Gaussian function and an ellipse shaped function. By varying the geometric par...

The Gau\ss{} hypergeometric function shows a recursive structure which resembles those found in conformal blocks. We compare it with the of block boundary/crosscap field theories that is obtained from representation theory. find pole perfectly agrees but slightly ``off-shell".

We present a modified definition of the Electron Pair Localization Function (EPLF), initially defined within the framework of quantumMonteCarlo approaches [Scemama, A.; Caffarel,M.; Chaquin, P. J. Chem. Phys. 2004, 121, 1725] to be used in Density Functional Theories (DFT) and ab initiowave-function-based methods. This modified version of the EPLF—while keeping the same physical and chemical co...

in this research, softening and ratcheting behaviors of ck20 alloy steel cylindrical shells were studied under displacement-control and force-control cyclic axial loading and the behavior of hysteresis curves of specimens was also investigated. experimental tests were performed by a servo-hydraulic instron 8802 machine. the mechanical properties of specimens were determined according to astm e8...

background: multifunctional core-shell magnetic nanocomposite particles with tunable characteristics have been paid much attention for biomedical applications in recent years. a rational design and suitable preparation method must be employed to be able to exploit attractive properties of magnetic nanocomposite particles.objectives: herein, we report on a simple approach for the synthesis of ma...

In this paper, a study on the vibration of thin cylindrical shells made of a functionally gradient material (FGM) composed of stainless steel and nickel is presented. The effects of the FGM configuration are taken into account by studying the frequencies of two FG cylindrical shells. Type I FG cylindrical shell has nickel on its inner surface and stainless steel on its outer surface and Type II...

The first step in walnut breeding programs is to identify and evaluate superior genotypes of fruit trees. Hence, there are various walnut breeding programs in various areas of Iran. A study aimed to evaluate the morphological and chemical characteristics of selected superior genotypes of walnut was conducted in the Shahroud region in 2011-2012.  The following genotypes were selected in this stu...

We derive scalar effective field theories—Lagrangians, symmetries, and all—from on-shell scattering amplitudes constructed purely from Lorentz invariance, factorization, a fixed power counting order in derivatives, and a fixed order at which amplitudes vanish in the soft limit. These constraints leave free parameters in the amplitude which are the coupling constants of well-known theories: Namb...
